The Jeffersontown Police Department issued a statement Thursday afternoon indicating that it is working in concert with the Louisville Metro Police Department, FBI and ATF to investigate the double murder and "determine any possible motive behind the suspect's actions". Even more damning for Bush, eyewitness Ed Harrell, a white man who brandished his own gun after the shooting in a supermarket parking lot, said the gunman walked by him and said, "Don't shoot me".

The National Black Church Initiative raised its terrorism alert to its highest level, purple, following the October 24 shooting that claimed the lives of two African American shoppers.

Police said there didn't appear to be any connection between Bush and the victims, or any link between Bush and the Kroger store. Harrell asked what was going on, and the gunman replied: "Don't shoot me".

Mayor Greg Fischer said Thursday he's "sick and heartbroken" that two people were shot to death, and says the tragedy "hit close to home". The suspect fled the scene and was apprehended nearby, police said.

The Louisville Courier-Journal spoke with a witness on the scene who said he encountered the shooter on his way out.

Bush is accused of killing Maurice Stallard, 69, inside the store Wednesday and a second victim, Vickie Jones, 67, in the parking lot.

"There may be questions about mental illness, and there can be no doubt that we must do whatever is needed to get people all of the health care that they need", said Fischer.

Purdue erupts in 29-point defeat of No. 2 Ohio StatePurdue jumped out to a 7-0 lead with 1:10 left in the first quarter on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Blough to Issac Zico. The 5-foot-7 running back totaled 128 yards on 16 carries, his third 100-yard game of the season and second in a row.

Deacon said he saw another man in the store with a gun who appeared to be shooting at the suspect.

Years ago in a family court hearing, Bush threatened his ex-wife and punched a deputy sheriff.

A judge ordered Bush's weapons taken away from him as part of an emergency protective order filed by his ex-wife.

An arrest citation said Bush's parents were punched and choked, and they told police they were "terrified of (his) unpredictable behavior".

"We recognize that the alleged perpetrator may have had a mental inquest warrant filed previously, however his FB posts, his comments, and his visit to First Baptist Jeffersontown lead us to express our concern".
